Chapter 30: The Lion
Sun Jian, the word Wentai, a native of Fuchun, Wu County, is said to be a descendant of the famous military strategist Sun Wu.
The Sun family has been an official in Wu County for many years, although the official position is not large, he can be regarded as the son of an official eunuch. When Sun Jian was a teenager, he was even more righteous and chivalrous, bold and strategic. Later, he served in the army and made countless meritorious contributions, and was named 'Wucheng Hou' because of the pacification of the Liangzhou Rebellion.
In the first year of the first peace, Sun Jian, who was the Taishou of Changsha at the time, received the summons and immediately responded with troops.
However, Changsha is not the Central Plains, although it is also a large county of Jingzhou, but compared to the Central Plains, it is not very rich. And Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, suppressed Sun Jian even more. Hearing that Sun Jian was going to raise troops to fight against Dong, instead of supporting it, he had evil thoughts in his heart.
Sun Jian is also a bold man, and he has always had a grudge against Wang Rui.
Now, all the heroes in the world take it as their responsibility to conquer Dong Zhuo, but Wang Rui, as a assassin, is against the trend, clearly seeking his own death.
So Sun Jian did not hesitate and immediately contacted Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling.
This Cao Yin has never been compatible with Wang Rui.
It's just that Wang Rui is the assassin of Jingzhou, and he is even supported by the Jingxiang family, so although Cao Yin has bad intentions, he does not dare to act rashly.
Sun Jian found Cao Yin and told Cao Yin that Wang Rui wanted to kill him.
Cao Yin was frightened because of this, and at the instigation of Sun Jian, he forged the document of the executor of the case, Guanglu Doctor Wen Yi, and sent it to Sun Jian, ordering Sun Jian to execute Wang Rui. And Sun Jian knew that the text was fake, but he did not hesitate to accept it, and led his troops to break through the city, captured Wang Rui, and killed him...... Subsequently, Sun Jian pretended to wake up again, and led his troops back to Wuling on the charge of Cao Yin's false transmission of the text, took down Cao Yin, and then executed Cao Yin together, cleanly.
In this way, Sun Jian had all the soldiers and horses of Changsha, Nanjun and Wuling, as well as countless armor and baggage, and his power doubled......
However, if you think that Sun Jian stops there, you are very wrong.
After he won the soldiers and horses of the three counties, he raised troops to respond to Yuan Shao and went north to attack Dong Zhuo.
When passing through Nanyang County, he issued an official letter to Nanyang Taishou Zhang and asked him to supply military rations.
Nanyang is the capital and a large county, and it is the richest place in the world.
How is it rich?
Here's a contrast.
Liangzhou has a population of about 2.3 million people.
Nanyang, which is just a county in Yuzhou, has a population of 2.8 million, which is more than the population of Liangzhou alone.
At that time, Sun Jian commanded the soldiers and horses of the three counties, as many as tens of thousands.
Moreover, Yuan Shu also supported Sun Jian, and asked for an official position from Yuan Shao, worshipping Sun Jian as a fake lieutenant general.
But Zhang Zhi thought that Sun Jian sent troops to the north, and there was no official document from the imperial court, so it was not counted. In addition, some of his subordinates persuaded: "Sun Wentai is just a taishou in Jingzhou, how can he have the right to let us allocate food and salary?" It really shouldn't be. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Zhi ignored it.
How do you know that Sun Jian ignored Zhang Zhi and didn't say a word, and after arresting Zhang Shi, he beheaded him on the spot, which shocked the entire Nanyang County Government. And Sun Jian, after the army ransacked the treasury of Nanyang County, he left......
An official of the imperial court, but so lawless, can be seen.
But Yuan Shu admired Sun Jian's style of doing things very much.
After meeting with Sun Jian, he played Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou and ordered him to garrison Luyang.
said that it was a performance, but in fact, it was a self-award.
Anyway, in Yuan Shu's eyes, the country is no longer a country, and the imperial court is controlled by Dong Zhuo, which is not orthodox at all.
In other words, there is no need to have an appointment from the imperial court, as soon as he touches Yuan Shu's mouth, Sun Jian's Yuzhou assassin history will be considered solid.
As for Sun Jian, he accepted it even more unceremoniously!
After resting in Luyang for a while, Sun Jian was a little impatient and decided to send troops to Yangren.
He raised the banner of Yuzhou Assassin History, ordered the eldest Sun Ce to be the forward, with the general Huang Gai as the deputy general, commanding 3,000 troops to capture the Yangren.
Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, is now 16 years old.
Since the age of fourteen, Sun Ce has followed Sun Jian to fight on the battlefield and made countless contributions.
Don't look at his age, but he is strong in martial arts and brave.
When he was in Changsha, Sun Jian would make Sun Ce the vanguard every time he conquered the thieves, and he would win every battle, so that the Changsha thieves would flee without hearing the wind.
"Wentai, the Yang people's guard general Hu Zhen is a warrior under Dong Zhuo's account, and he should not be underestimated."
When Sun Jian ordered Sun Ce to go on the expedition, a staff member stepped forward to persuade him.
Sun Jian laughed, "A certain view of Hu Zhen, inserting a label to sell the first ear, there is no need to worry." ”
He explained to his staff: "When I was in Guanzhong to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, I saw Hu Zhen.
This person has no real talents, a reckless temperament, and a very high self-esteem. My son is not idle, but the overlord is reborn, and it is really my grandson's lion.
It's just nonsense, don't worry, you and I just need to be here, waiting for good news. ”
Because of Sun Jian's words, Sun Ce's name as 'Jiangdong Little Overlord' quickly spread!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen arrived at Yangren Pass, they fought vigorously.
Before setting out on the expedition, Hua Xiong had told Hu Zhen that as long as he held on to the Yangren Pass, he would not fight.
As Sun Jian said, Hu Zhen is very self-assured.
He always believed that in terms of talent, he was far superior to Huaxiong, and it was only because of bad luck that he had to be subservient. However, Hua Xiong was the main general after all, and Hu Zhen did not dare to disobey the order. Therefore, after he arrived at Yangren Pass, he was also very responsible.
Even if Sun Ce led his troops to the city, he refused to leave the city to fight.
This also made Sun Ce a little overwhelmed.
"Uncle, that Hu Zhen has no courage and doesn't dare to fight, so he can only attack Yangren Pass."
After all, Sun Ce was young and vigorous, and when he saw Hu Zhen avoiding the battle, he suddenly became anxious.
Fortunately, the deputy general Huang Gai stopped him.
"Bo Fu, don't be reckless."
Huang Gai was originally a descendant of Huang Zilian, the Taishou of Nanyang, and his grandfather moved to Lingling to live.
Huang Gai was young and his family was poor, but he had great ambitions, and he read the books left to him by his grandfather by heart, and was later investigated as filial piety and promoted to the public government. When Sun Jian served as the Taishou of Changsha, Huang Gai followed Sun Jian and was appointed by Sun Jian as Sima of other departments.
He is serious, rigorous, and loyal.
Even if Sun Ce is Sun Jian's son, he is trembling in the face of Huang Gai.
Huang Gai said: "Bo Fu, Yang people are a strong city, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
We only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses this time, and we couldn't break through the Yangren Pass at all, so we could only lose our troops in vain. Therefore, if you want to break the Yang Pass, you can only outwit it, not be invincible. The lord said that Hu Zhen is a reckless man, and it will not be too difficult to deal with. ”
Sun Ce heard this and nodded in praise.
After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with a plan.
The next day, he led his troops out of the camp again to challenge, but Hu Zhen was closed by Yangren, but he still ignored it.
Sun Ce was angry and pointed to the city and scolded.
Later, he simply ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and then ate wine in the city, while making people scold, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.
"Chunxuan, Sun Ce'er, is especially rampant."
Hu Zhen closed the Yangren, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder.
Zhao Cen was also a little annoyed, but he held Hu Zhen down and persuaded him: "Don't be fooled, that kid is a method of agitation, and he wants to lead you out of the city to face the battle." The Great Governor commanded, let you and I defend again, not to fight, please think twice. ”
Hu Zhen shook his head helplessly.
He was dissatisfied, but he couldn't disobey the general's order, so he had to watch Sun Ce under the city arrogant.
In this way, on the first day, Hu Zhen still couldn't hold on.
The next day, Hu Zhen did not appear in the city at all.
On the third day, Sun Ce also seemed to be tired of scolding, and seeing that Hu Zhen did not react, he only scolded for half a day, and then collected his troops and returned to the camp.
As soon as Sun Ce walked on his front foot, Hu Zhen appeared on the city.
"Chunxuan, I said a long time ago that it is difficult for children to be patient.
After only two and a half days of scolding, I lost my energy...... Now, he must have been helpless and his fighting spirit has gone. Tonight, I will lead my troops out of the city secretly, and then attack the camp, and I will surely win a great victory. ”
"Rider, you're going to fight?"
Zhao Cen was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to open his mouth to stop it.
Who knows, Hu Zhen waved his hand and said: "Chunxuan, there is a way to accept the life of the monarch outside."
The governor is in Xingyang, and he doesn't know the changes in the battle situation, so he ordered me to stick to Yangren Pass. Now that the rebels are tired, I can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up and win. When the time comes, the Grand Overseer will not blame you or me. Besides, I only attack and will never pursue...... After defeating the rebels, I returned to the city. Is it possible to sit back and watch the fighter plane slip away? ”
Hu Zhen's words did move Zhao Cen.
"Since the Cavalry Governor has made up his mind, it is not easy for the last general to stop him.
In this way, the cavalry governor will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight, and I will lead 2,000 men to stay in the pass, so that I can also adapt to the situation......"
Hu Zhen didn't like it, but it was not good to say anything more.
After all, what Zhao Cen said was not wrong, he was just acting according to orders.
In this way, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen discussed it properly.
After dark, Hu Zhen led 3,000 foot riders and secretly walked out of Yangren Pass.
All the mouths, horses and hooves, quietly arrived outside the rebel camp. As soon as the time passed, Hu Zhen raised his big knife and shouted: "Three army sons, follow me to attack...... Kill Sun Ce's child, be promoted to the third level, and be rewarded with 100 gold. ”
The three thousand cavalry shouted in unison, and with Hu Zhen, they rushed into the rebel camp.
However, when they entered the camp, they found that the camp was empty, and there was no one to be seen......
Hu Zhen immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered to retreat.
At this time, a war drum sounded.
Suddenly fires broke out in the camp, and outside the camp, countless soldiers poured out from all directions, guarding several exits of the camp, and then opened their bows and arrows. In the panic of the Liangzhou army, there were countless casualties. And Hu Zhen was even more panicked, and slapped the horse and danced the knife out of the gate.
As soon as he rushed out of the gate, he heard someone shouting in front of him: "The enemy general, but Hu Zhen?" ”
Hu Zhen looked up and saw a team of men blocking the way.
He was about to answer, but he saw the other man suddenly scatter in both directions, and a black horse galloped out of the procession, as fast as lightning.
On that horse, there was a young general, holding two iron spears.
The young general was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was handsome.
He urged the horse to raise his gun, and shouted: "I am Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, a dog thief, and I won't give my life yet!" ”
The gun is fast, the horse is fast!
Before Hu Zhen could react, the young general had already arrived.
I saw that he didn't talk to Hu Zhen, and he stabbed when he was distracted by the iron spear.
Hu Zhen was on the horse, busy pushing the knife to block, only to hear a loud 'bell', the moment Sun Ce's spear stabbed the big knife in Hu Zhen's hand, the spear had an extremely strange twist, as if the spirit snake turned over, and the power suddenly doubled.
Hu Zhen felt a strange power, surging in a spiral.
In an instant, he only felt that his hands were numb, and the big knife in his hand fell out of his hand.
"Ahh
Hu Zhen was shocked, and turned sideways on the horse to dodge.
His reaction was quick, but Sun Ce's Zhang'er Iron Spear was even faster...... Hearing a pop, the iron spear directly tore through the iron armor on Hu Zhen's body and pierced into Hu Zhen's chest. After Sun Ce succeeded in a spear, he did not hesitate, he put his hands together on the yin and yang handles, and the iron spear went up.
Hu Zhen's corpse flew up from the horse's back and fell to the ground.
"Hu Zhen is dead, you won't surrender yet, let alone when."
In the firelight, Sun Ce circled his horse, majestic.
Seeing this, the Liangzhou army that had gone out of the city to sneak attack was frightened one by one, and they no longer had the courage to continue to fight with Sun Ce.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Fortunately, Zhao Cen was clever and guarded the Yang Pass, so he failed to make Sun Ce succeed."
Hucheng Pavilion, trapped in the camp.
After listening to the messenger's report, Ding Chen couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
Although Hua Xiong didn't want to see him, he didn't forget him. After the battle started at Yangren Pass, he sent someone to report the battle situation.
"Then, how is the Grand Inspector going to arrange next?"
The messenger said in a deep voice: "The Great Governor is ready to personally lead the troops and horses to the aid of Yangren Pass.
He ordered the general to pass the order with Zhonglang, and he didn't have to worry about the battle ahead, just hold the Hucheng Pavilion, which was a great achievement......"
Defend the Hucheng Pavilion?
Ding Chen was noncommittal, nodded and replied: "If you are tired of the envoy returning to the Great Governor, you will say that Ding Chen will stick to the Hucheng Pavilion and never let the rebels pass." ”
When these words came out, Gao Shun and Yang Aruo on the side couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Don't let the rebels pass?
It's been a few days in this Hucheng Pavilion, and how have you ever seen half an enemy?
